Been planning on dove hunting this year. Is this place any good for dove or is it a bad spot? Never even been there so not real familiar with the area. Any suggestions?
Typically a fair number of dove the first day or so but it's highly pressured and you'll want to wear eye protection. It's the closest public land to the city that allows dove hunting and it shows. I've seen people from Guthrie, Paul's valley, chickasha, etc there.
Sounds like a good place to dove hunt on August 31st to avoid the crowd.
Check into the private lands program the ODW is sponsoring now with landowners called OLAP.
Some of the spots in my area that are open for hunting look really promising for dove.

Thanks for the insight...
Sshhhh.....
Sorry....
Might work to your advantage to have a Snake out there. Keep some of the scaredy cats away.
Honestly though, th OLAP lands I've visited have been pretty good for dove. Not for much else, however.
On Lexington WMA, the food plots off the main road will be be full of guys on opening day. During dryer years, hunting the ponds with low water and an exposed muddy bank were good. It's been pretty wet this year though, not sure.

I am around 1 OLAP property 5 to 6 times a month. Last year, I saw a hunter there once. It was a man and a young boy that set up to dove hunt. Sadly I never saw many dove around it, but the deer trails coming out of the native grass pasture to the neighboring wheat field looked tempting. The only decent cover would be one of the piles of cedar that have pushed out or sawed off. The fence line had some oak thickets as well. By January the trails crossing the fence looked like cow paths.
